The one thing you really want to be rid of and they just keep growing green and proud while everything around them is brown and dieing. And when you do get a little rain, they grow that much bigger, greener, and prouder.
It's like they're mocking us, standing there sticking their little tongues out at us going, "Plaff!!" If they had tongues that is. But who knows, maybe they do and just do it when our backs are turned. Or worse yet, they give us the finger, or in their case, the leaf! If they have leaves that have little parts sticking out it would be easier for them, like say dandelions. Yeah, they're real dandy alright.
You never know what they're up to but we all know that unless we use the nasty stuff, they just spring up all over the place. They're like rabbits that way, just keep on multiplying whether we like it or not.
Some weeds are eatable. I guess we could pick those ones and eat them, like the dandy dandelion. And you have to admit, seeing a whole field of dandelions with their little yellow flowers is pretty, but in a yard, they're a pain. But I guess we can be thankful that we have something green growing.
I was thinking about this yesterday while driving down my street and noticing the weeds growing in the cracks and expansion dividers of the pavement. The lawns are brown but the street has green patches!
